Exploratory data analysis and visualization is becoming increasingly important to non-technical managers with embedded analytics boasting the most appeal. Robust and comprehensive solutions are now being engineered to provide charts, reports, dashboards, and more within the software application itself.
With embedded analytics, users have full control over the functionality, look, and feel of the application to ensure that they can navigate it easily and access the information they need.
Still, embedded analytics can vary across vendors, so choosing the right vendor can mean all the difference.
What Are the Benefits of Embedded Analytics?
Many of the benefits of embedded analytics are specific to the business intelligence software, but they generally offer advantages in the following areas:
- User interface (UI) and user experience (UX): This benefit affects the seamlessness of the user experience. With some programs, separate tools are needed to support business processes, while others are dedicated to analytics. Embedded analytics combines both into one seamless experience.
- Data blending: Analyzing data from different sources is often more challenging than working with data from a single source. Some software enables users to visualize data, but users lack the ability to combine this data with other data sources. Embedded analytics blends the data from multiple sources.
- Process optimization: If a manager needs to make a business decision, a few reporting lines may not provide the whole picture to inform the decision-making process. With embedded analytics, a full range of interactive visualizations can provide more information to determine the best course of action.
While these are the general benefits that are offered by embedded analytics, different vendors offer different capabilities.
Advantages of Izenda
Any modern BI platform should allow you to not only embed reports, dashboards, and visualizations, but the platform should also allow for report designers and dashboard designers to be embedded into your applications. What inevitably happens when you have to navigate to another application to do your BI reporting is that people end up not using the platform, so user adoption goes down and your BI platform ends up sitting there unused.
With Izenda, you have a plethora of different elements that can be natively embedded within your application. Report designers, dashboard designers, report lists, dashboard lists, our administration UI, individual visualizations, report viewers, and dashboard viewers can all be seamlessly embedded within your application.
